Admissions and Enrollment for 2018-19Registration is open for PreK4-4th and 6-8th Grade

1. TriEA is a tuition-free open-enrollment charter school without enrollment requirements for its scholars. Our annual registration for the next school year is January 15th – March 15th. When you complete and submit this registration form, we will communicate with you that your form has been received. It is not too late to apply, we are currently taking applications for enrollment.

2. We ran our lottery for all new scholars on March 15th, 2018. Within two-weeks of the lottery, we sent official notice that your scholar has a spot for next year and those will need to complete the rest of our school application. You are “enrolled” on your scholars first day of attendance. Our 2018-19 school year begins Monday, August 13, 2018, one week before Dallas ISD. So, the whole process is in three easy steps – 1) you “register” for a spot with simple demographic information on the left, 2) you “apply” after being notified you’ve secured a spot then complete the full application and appropriate documents, and 3) you “enroll” when your child attends the first day of school.

3. In 2015/16 when we first opened, we accepted 48 scholars in Kinder, 48 scholars in 1st grade, and 84 scholars in 6th grade. Each year, as the scholars age up, we bring in new Pre-K/Kinder and 6th graders until we are a full Pre-K-12. We also back-fill other grade levels due to families moving in/out of the area. For 2018-19, we are accepting registrations for Pre-K4-4th, and 6-8th grade beginning January 15th, 2018.

4. Trinity Environmental Academy will accept students who reside in the following school districts as our Primary Geographic Boundaries (PGB): Dallas ISD, Desoto ISD, and Lancaster ISD. Secondary geographic boundaries would consist of the following districts: Garland, Cedar Hill, Seagoville, Desoto, Duncanville, Mesquite, Grand Prairie, Arlington, Irving, and Red Oak. TriEA will only go to it’s secondary boundary applicants if there is space available in any grade level.

5. Scholars with previous discipline records (a documented history of criminal offense, a juvenile court adjudication, or discipline problems under Subchapter A, Chapter 37 of the Texas Education Code) will be reviewed by the admissions committee followed by review of the facts with the scholar and parent(s) or guardian. A vote of the committee will determine if the school can adequately support the scholar. We will serve every scholar that wants to attend keeping the best interests of the scholar in mind.
​
